Feeling like a Jumbled Mess

Its nearly 4pm in the afternoon and I am still in my pj's . I feel like a jumbled mess. I cant get a sense of direction into my day today.

My husband just changed shifts again. So I am having to get adjusted to that AGAIN. I was so enjoying him being on 1st shift. And had hopes of him staying on it. But that ended along with the heat wave. It gets dreadfully hot in factories.

I was finding my groove , my routine all that . Even getting to bed at a really decent time at night...sometimes by 10pm!!! And you all know that is really early for me! And I'd get up anywhere between 6:30 - and 8:30 am. Enought to really enjoy the whole day and get things accomplished around here ! And now I feel like I've lost that groove already. I dont know where my direction is. It all feels misplaced. Not sure if that is all because of the bipolar thing here or just a switch of the whole lifestyle thing. Maybe both. And I've got things I gotta get ready yet for dad when he comes home next week. And most of all .. my most exciting news is that I may get to go to Nashville the end of the month for a few days!!!! OHHHH How I would love to do that!. Love going down there!! And I need to get away for a bit too.

Any suggestions for me to get back in my groove again?

(((((Beth)))), I wish I had some answers for you! I am having one of those days too, no sense of direction whatsoever today! (And I am in my pj's too!) It sounds like it could be any of the things you mentioned, you do have a lot going on. Maybe just think of today as a rest day, instead of feeling down about it. That's how I'm looking at it. I hope you get to go to Nashville, that sounds like it would be fun for you!

Love,
Sujin

I can so very much relate!
My husband works half the week nights and half the weeks days, six altogether. That inturn messes up my sleeping. Lately the swings have started up again I have noticed. I am scared! <font color="purple"> </font>

Boy this thread has reminded me that I really need to keep more normal hours no matter what my husband works. I keep changing and I think it may have tripped the hypomanic switch. I end up taking my meds at very different times every day and screw myself up. I am feeling very good right now, I am afraid too good. I am not ready to slam into depression shortly after an all too short hypomanic episode.
